We don’t have to be heroes

On the first day of medical school, our anatomy lab instructor handed us scalpels and told us to skin our cadavers. Early on, I learned: A good physician does not betray her feelings. A good physician suffers long. A good physician embodies resilience. A good physician is imperturbable. This lesson continued throughout training. I contemplated leaving medicine during my second year of residency. I was no longer an intern, which meant I could no longer depend on my inexperience as an excuse. Expectations, responsibilities, and hours grew while my skills, knowledge base, and ability to cope with sleep deprivation stayed relatively the same. All I could do was pretend that I was more competent and more imperturbable than I was.
